Our neighbor went home to Chicago for the holidays and us girls left a gift to welcome him home on the bow of his boat. She is christened "New Judy"...because there used to be a Judy doll on another boat. But I digress....just saw New Judy sail by with a charter aboard. ⛵⛵⛵ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJrSh3aLFGF/?igshid=1ucwpccfmorgk

It's been quite a ride the past few months...first balls to the wall with work, then crashing on the seawall during Eta and now trying to recover. Not quite back to my "normal" level of insanity yet. The bay is choppier back in Gulfport and winter has been cold with storms and sudden wind shifts. Have two outboards now but neither running so getting to shore is tough. Spent yesterday wrenching on electrical...had some melting wire and narrowly avoided a fire. BUT TODAY....a few of us girls got together for tapas and ritas. The struggle continues....and IT'S WORTH IT! (at Sea Dog Cantina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmjNAMLJOC/?igshid=850iwc3zlbpq

Thank you Zach! My hero! REPOST @sailingseaq Played a little game of captain saveaboat today. A friend's boat ended up dragging in between two other boats. Didn't know he was sleeping in the cabin.... Dude wakes up to me pulling up his anchor and moving his boat 😂 I was just out strolling around letting the Seafoam work it's magic on the outboard and happened to be the first one to notice. Made for an amazing sunset picture with em all lined up and in frame. Thanks @svmaddream for the "action" photos. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIzWmHMgaSX/?igshid=n35og7zmf3qy

S/V Magpie first time sails up! Congratulations Robin! https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoqr-0AYUh/?igshid=fzj7zojl8rx8

It's going to take a bit for us to get back to "normal"...assessing damage...catching up on work...trying to make the dinghy run each day. But we saw one friend, Preston, on this beautiful sunset sail and it reminds us why we live this way. It's worth it! https://www.instagram.com/p/CImZitLgu9i/?igshid=1ows2ht65ab4j

Mahi and Flounder jumped ship from #svparamour to #svmagpie last night. They were not happy this morning when she had drifted back! Their #crazycatdaddy #captainstagger rescued them this morning. Magpie is currently tied off to Paramour while her new skipper readies her to move to anchor...just a few more days and then kitties will no longer have their own apartment and will be stuck with mom and dad again. #robinsnest https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaxaMqg8Ar/?igshid=9yvj1z1tkw6g

These are the dudes who boarded my vessel...Dumb and Dumber. Pfeifer had something in his pocket that went in to an evidence baggy so he may have more problems. Robinson bonded out yesterday. Glad my boat was gone before they let him loose again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVzadmgYSx/?igshid=1mr6rear758mn

Finally got our boat towed back on the bay late Sunday with the full moon tide! Yesterday and today were cleaning days from the mess of her being heeled. My doggo got to come home this evening. We are having a snuggle night since it's cold out and I've missed her so. The good news is...I'll be up sewing first thing in the morning and will catch up orders and should have all shipped by the end of the week. Thank you so much to our Froo Friends for sticking it out. This has been one of the biggest trials I've faced in my 52 years. Dee & Bernadette Muffinbum https://www.instagram.com/p/CITaHN6gixl/?igshid=1q0ki61b7ufs2
